Shreyas Iyer battles in ICU: Wishes pour in for Indian ODI vice-captain – ‘Get well soon, Sarpanch’ | Cricket News

India’s ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is currently undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a Sydney hospital after suffering a serious internal injury during the third ODI against Australia.The incident took place when Iyer sprinted backwards from the point position to try to catch Alex Carey, but collided awkwardly, injuring his left ribcage. Although he initially managed to leave the field, Iyer soon complained of severe pain and discomfort in the locker room, leading to immediate medical attention from team doctors.

Subsequent tests revealed a laceration to the spleen, leading to internal bleeding. The impact caused his vital signs to drop sharply and emergency treatment was administered. The spleen, a delicate organ located in the abdomen, can cause significant internal bleeding when damaged, making Iyer’s injury particularly concerning.According to the BCCI’s official statement, Iyer suffered “an impact injury to the lower left region of the rib cage” and “a laceration to the spleen”. The statement confirmed that he remains medically stable and under the supervision of a specialist in Sydney, with the Indian team doctor remaining by his side to monitor his condition daily.Although his recovery timetable depends on medical progress, Iyer is expected to remain in the ICU for at least two more days. The BCCI is expediting arrangements for his family to travel to Sydney while he continues his treatment.The incident, which began as a spectacular effort on the field, quickly turned into a medical emergency that deeply concerned teammates and fans.Support and well-wishes have flooded social media since the news broke. Akash Chopra wrote, “Get well soon, Sarpanch Shreyas. » His IPL franchises also shared messages – KKR posted: “Wishing you a speedy recovery”, while Delhi Capitals added: “Shreyas is a fighter; he will fight through this too. » Rajiv Shukla said, “I wish Shreyas Iyer a speedy recovery. His unwavering spirit and commitment towards the game is truly admirable. Looking forward to seeing him back on the field soon, stronger than ever.” For now, doctors say Iyer’s condition is stable but he will still require close monitoring in the coming days.
